When we fall in love, we feel our heart beat faster – but why is that?
Our heart is not just a muscle that pushes blood through our body. It is also the mirror of our emotions, working together with the brain to create those unique feelings of passion and attraction.
The brain, when we feel attraction or excitement, sends signals to the adrenal glands, which release adrenaline. This hormone is responsible for increasing the heart rate and creating the well-known "fluttering" or "palpitations".
At the same time, substances such as dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, secreted by the brain, enhance the euphoria, bonding and passion we feel.
This unique "game" between brain and heart is what makes love so intense and magical.
The science behind love reminds us that our heart is not only an organ, but also a symbol of emotions and life.
